Rejected petition Honour the UK's commitment to rehouse 3,000 unaccompanied Syrian child refugees

In 2016, the UK government made a commitment to rehouse 3,000 unaccompanied Syrian child refugees. Today, Wednesday 8 February 2017, the Home Office announced that it was limiting that number to just 350. Our refusal to assist vulnerable children running from war is a moral stain on our country.
